api

25 Apr 2021

Measuring the efficiency of your software development lifecycle is an important step to grow DevOps adoption for any organization. In the previous milestone, we added API support for lead time for changes at the project level. These metrics give you an indication of throughput so you know how long it takes for code to be committed and deployed to your production environment. In this release, you can now access this capability in the GitLab UI through the CI/CD dashboard, where a new graph will show the lead time for changes with the ability to view different time ranges, such as the last week, last month, or the last 90 days. In addition to the new graph, we have also added support for this API on the group level, allowing you to get aggregated lead time for changes metrics from all the projects that belong to the group.

GitLab CI/CD is one of the best solutions in this industry, however, when it comes to deployments, things get more complicated because some of the security features are involved. This video explains what's need to be configured to maximize the security on your deployment pipelines/workflow.

Welcome to the 13.2 Release Management Kick off! The Release Management Team is responsible for the categories of Release Evidence, Release Orchestration, Secrets Management, and GitLab Pages. In 13.2 we are working on depth of the Vault Integration and enriching the Release Orchestration features to support our vision of allowing users to plan and orchestrate releases from wherever they want API, YAML, and UI.
